Milwaukee Weather: Sunny Friday, rain this weekend

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Some early fog in low-lying areas to start our Friday, then a few clouds and pleasant highs in the lower 80s away from Lake Michigan. Enjoy the quiet weather Friday brings because we're about to flip the switch to a much more active and summer-like pattern. Showers and a few thunderstorms become likely Saturday afternoon and night as warmer, more humid air begins pouring into Wisconsin. Scattered showers and storm chances hang around through Tuesday night. Despite the unsettled forecast, this doesn't look like a washout every day, but summer is definitely making a last-minute comeback.
